communication between the higher and the lower towns, and doubled, as
it were, the town of Rome.
The former Franciscan monk also caused a reaction against paganism
in art; and was happy in celebrating in his works the triumph of the
Christian faith. He surmounted with a cross the beautiful obelisk which
the architect Fontana had raised with so much trouble and delight on the
Piazza di San Pietro. He knocked down the statues of Trajan and
Antoninus from the triumphal columns of those emperors to put up St.
Peter and St. Paul, and to build his churches and realise his plans
destroyed the monuments of antiquity, even the beautiful temple of
Severus. He even sacrificed to this Christian vandalism the beautiful
tomb of Cæcilia Metella. But before all, this positive mind had always
one end in view—public utility; and Rome really rose under his
pontificate.
The death of the grand duke of Florence, Francesco, was as favourable
to Tuscany as that of Gregory XIII to the church states. Duke Francesco
and Cardinal Ferdinand de’ Medici, rarely in accord, were still embroiled
after the accession of Pope Sixtus V. In the autumn of 1587, Francesco
having fallen ill, Ferdinand came to Florence and there was reconciled
with him. But some days after the fever of Francesco grew worse, Bianca
Capello herself was attacked by the same illness. The husband and wife
whose passion for each other had troubled the court of Tuscany, even of
Italy, died within two days of each other, and Cardinal Ferdinand became
duke of Florence. A thousand rumours were set afloat to damage him,
but the new duke soon stifled them by benefits bestowed. An enlightened
man, with practical good sense and resolution, Ferdinand I repaired the
miseries caused by the negligence of Francesco. The prosperity of
Leghorn was taken in hand; the town of Pisa helped by the opening of a
canal which put her in communication with Leghorn at that point where
the Genoese were soon to assist at a yearly fair. The course of the Arno
received a more advantageous direction; there was much done in the way
of draining inundated lands, and the prospect of repeopling the
Maremma was reundertaken by increasing the water-supply and
damming the overflow of Lake Fucecchio. Ferdinand kept a navy
sufficiently considerable to drive the Barbary pirates back to Bona, and
tried to reanimate art and letters, which had been the glory of his country
and his ancestors.
Pope Sixtus V and Ferdinand were so constituted as to understand
each other. Their foreign policy began to betray more independence.
Sixtus V pursued as far as Spanish territory the brigands who were
sometimes protected by them. Ferdinand sent away all the Spaniards
whom Francesco had taken into pay, and confided his fortresses to
Italians whom he could trust. Both men had come to a good
understanding with the Venetian republic. The pope particularly was
fond of that town, which had helped him to destroy the brigands. He
often assured her that he would willingly shed his blood for her. They
also attached to themselves the Gonzagas of Mantua and Genoa,
threatened by Charles Emmanuel I of Savoy, who hoped to obtain
everything from Spain by proving himself her most zealous partisan. It
was already a scene of resistance. But help must be sought from without.
France, preyed upon for twenty-five years by the horrors of a religious
war which paralysed all foreign politics, could hardly stand against the
efforts and intrigues of Philip II. Ferdinand and Venice favoured as much
as they could the restoration of a strong and national power. The republic
guessed first what the future would be, and had the courage to recognise
Henry IV before all the other states. After her, Ferdinand entered into
friendly relations with the new king; and while the duke of Savoy seized
from him Barcelonnette and Antibes, he threw himself into the château
d’If and put an efficient garrison there.
Sixtus V hesitated. He threatened to break with the republic, for which
he had promised to shed his blood. He allowed himself, however, to be
persuaded to relent, and even received M. de Luxembourg, the envoy of
Henry IV, in private audience. The Spanish ambassador begged,
threatened. Sixtus went down before such boldness. Philip II again began
to send bandits to the pontifical territory, and intercepted the convoys
laden with grain which Ferdinand had caused to come for the
provisionment of Tuscany.
Sixtus V went so far as to speak of excommunicating the Catholic
king of Spain. This energetic man, however, bent under so great a task,
and died the 7th of August, 1590, pursued by the cowardly maledictions
of the people, who broke his statues, and decided that that honour should
not again be given to living popes.
